It doesn't get called properly because the culture hasn't been changed. Until players, coaches, ofiicials, and supervisors change, it's not going to be called correctly.

I started out this season and called it correctly 4 times in the first month. I got into all kinds of hot water! The same thing happened with palming.

You can put it in the POE every year, but until you change the culture, it isn't going to matter!
